Where to travel

Mumbai pulsates with vibrant energy while Goa exudes relaxed coastal charm; together, they offer a dynamic tapestry of India’s cultural richness.

Mumbai is India’s bustling financial and entertainment hub, embodying a captivating blend of rich historical legacy and vibrant modernity. Explore the city’s iconic landmarks, which include the Gateway of India and the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus, and stay at another – the Taj Mahal Palace Hotel. Immerse yourself in local life with visits to Crawford Market and Dhobi Ghat, Mumbai’s famed open-air laundry, shop and eat at Colaba Causeway, and people-watch at sunset on Chowpatty Beach. Delve into the city’s rich history at Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sangrahalaya, formerly known as the Prince of Wales Museum, and take a boat to UNESCO-listed Elephanta Island to visit a collection of cave temples dedicated to the Hindu god Shiva.

In contrast to bustling Mumbai, Goa and Gokarna beckon travellers to slow down and immerse in its laidback coastal vibe. Along with its famous beaches, Goa boasts a rich history and culture, evident in its well-preserved heritage sites. Old Goa, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, boasts majestic churches and cathedrals dating back to the Portuguese colonial era, such as the Basilica of Bom Jesus and Se Cathedral. Beyond its historical landmarks, Goa’s culinary scene is a feast for the senses, with its fusion of Portuguese and Indian flavours. For those seeking tranquillity, Goa offers secluded beaches like Butterfly Beach and Galgibaga Beach, ideal for leisurely strolls and peaceful sunsets away from the crowds. Further south along the pristine coastline of Karnataka, Gokarna is characterised by its untouched beaches, ancient temples, and tranquil atmosphere.
